Photojournalism: Honorable Mention 2020 (amateur)
Gewang-gewang by Marlon Malabuyoc (Philippines)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Gewang-gewang (swaying) in Binangonan is one of the highlights in the province of Rizal every year. It is part of their Good Friday procession similar to Quiapo’s procession of the Black Nazarene. Yearly, devotees carry this out as their way of thanksgiving and sacrifice. As they drift around the street, they continue to carry Santo Entierro despite its complexity. People come and go. As one comes out due to exhaustion, another one comes in just to continue their journey to its endpoint --- Santa Ursula Parish Church.
